2016-10-31 |
[CNN] The quake struck 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) north of Norcia, the US Geological Survey reported. • Fire and rescue services said six people had been pulled from rubble in Norcia. • There were no immediate reports of deaths -- many residents had not returned since a devastating quake in August. • There have been about 200 aftershocks since Sunday's quake in the border area between the Marche and Umbria regions, according to National Institute for Geophysics and Vulcanology. • Some villages are cut off, so the impact there has not been assessed, said Fabrizio Curcio, the civil protection chief. • Some 15,000 people are without electricity, according to Curcio. • Much of the Basilica of San Benedetto in Norcia collapsed. |
